Durk
Durk is a German Shepherd puppy in Warwick, RI, who needs $1,000 for Parvo Virus Treatment.
Warwick, RI
Durk was adopted just two weeks ago, after losing my dog Remy last month. He is just 9 weeks old. Durk has been adjusting well in his new home and gets to play with our 2 year old Husky, Oaklie. He gets to run around outside with her and is happy to have another dog in the house to show him around. We just got Durk two weeks ago, but we know he loves to play tug of war and run around the yard. He is also a big cuddle bug, always right beside me every night. He loves to be around people and get all of the love and attention that they can give. Durk has been the perfect addition to our family. Before my dog Remy passed, we had spent around $10,000 to figure out what was wrong with him and to try to treat him. We never found out what exactly was the problem, but after all of that, and him suffering, we ended up putting him down and letting him rest. Durk has been diagnosed with parvovirus and needed immediate attention after he had thrown up blood and had not wanted to eat. When he arrived to the hospital he had a temperature of 105 and was showing signs of some kind of infection/virus. Taylor Lafountain, DVM at Ocean State Veterinary Specialists have begun treating him and he will need to stay there for 3-4 days with medicine to recover. Durk is still new, but he has been trying to mimic what our other dog does, especially when she is looking out the window or walking around the yard.
BooBoo
BooBoo is a 13-year-old Corgi mix in Dallas, TX, who needs $260 for Dental.
Dallas, TX • Pooch Savers Rescue
BooBoo is a 13-year-old Corgi mix whose owner was elderly and was placed into assisted living and could not bring BooBoo with her. Unfortunately, no family members wanted BooBoo so the woman's son brought BooBoo to a vet to be euthanized! Thankfully, the vet staff didn't want to do that and several good Samaritans started looking around for rescue help. That's when we at Pooch Savers Rescue were contacted and asked if we could take her into our rescue, we were told that, although she was thought to be relatively healthy, she did have SEVERE dental disease, and would likely need all her teeth extracted. She came to us overweight and very confused and, of course, in DESPERATE need of dental surgery. BooBoo is now feeling SO much better and has pep in her step, a wagging tail and is ready to take on the world with a forever home. After being cleared to proceed with the dental surgery, we crossed our fingers and took her to Noah's Ark Pet Hospital on May 24. Upon pick up, we learned that, not only did she NOT need any extractions, all the built up tartar and calcified hair was chipped off and her teeth cleaned up beautifully! Her breath was horrible and we can only imagine how she felt living with a mouth like that! As with any senior dog, prior to any procedure that requires sedation, we do blood work, which showed her to be quite healthy except for early stage kidney disease, probably as a result of her teeth being neglected for years.
Taco
Taco is a 8-year-old Chihuahua mix in Carthage , NC, who needs $250 for seizure treatment.
Carthage, NC
7 years ago when my youngest son was 1 month old Taco wandered up on my property. I took him in and have cared for him every day since then. He has been a valued part or every day. Just yesterday at 4pm taco had his first seizure. He seemingly had a mild stroke at the same time. 8pm a second but seemed to be improving. 9pm a large one with obvious brain damage. We need your help!! Please!! Taco and my youngest son Phoenix have formed a bond. My son suffers from extreme ADHD and they have been companions for his whole life. Watching my son and explaining as Taco had seizures was extremely difficult. It is 1232am and Phoenix is still up worried sick about his dog, knowing he has school tomorrow. We just want Taco to be comfortable or have the option to die peacefully without suffering I know this is a tough time for us all. Unfortunately, for our family it has been devastating. Lost jobs to being displaced from our home. This was unexpected and at any other time could have been handled. We need your help, please. Small animals emergency vet in Vass, NC has quoted me 135$ just for the visit, plus 110$ if he needs to be made comfortable or put to sleep if there’s nothing they can do. In the medical field, 3 seizures in a 24 hour period is considered an emergency situation. This last seizure may have caused another stroke or brain damage as taco is unable to walk or support himself. Even my other dog is genuinely beside himself and worried sick about his best dog buddy. You can see these relationships in the pictures we have shared. I am currently looking for work and am trying to move our household due to the pandemic. The thought of not seeing Tacos smiling face every day when I make it home is devastating. But I will shower him with love until that moment comes.
Meeka
Meeka is a 10-year-old German Shepard in Fayetteville, AR, who needs $270 for Loss of Bowel Control or Bowel Obstruction.
Fayetteville, AR
We brought Meeka into our family on Christmas Day 2016. We had just moved from Tulsa to Fayetteville. Previous owners said she's a a German German Shepard. The fluffy kind. She's about 10 yrs old and lives with me and my 8 yr old twin boys. Favorite moments was watching her see deer for the 1st time when many crossed our property. Few of them were prancing and jumping in the air teasing her. Meeka loves to get into the cold water on a hot summer days. She rarely barks. Exception was her seeing deer for the 1st time. She's extremely gentle, very laid back, and has never jumped on anyone. She is easy to please and very lovable. She sleeps on her homemade pallet and is a very gorgeous dog. I like that her size can be intimidating when needed. She's a perfect dog and needs to get better. Unemployed single mom of 8 yr old twin boys. Moving out apt. by March 31. Travel expenses to Tulsa to see my dad after hip surgery. Has bladder cancer for 2 years. Meeka loves to ride in car. Have to know what is wrong w her and hopefully get her well immediately. Meeka has ongoing ear infections. The veterinarian says it's an allergic reaction to her natural indoor/outdoor environment and diet. It's urgent for her to be seen ASAP. She's lost control of her bowels by possibly an obstruction or some type of infection.Hospital of my choice is Animal Emergency and Specialty Center of Northwest Arkansas in Springdale, AR. They are open 24/7. She loves kids. She is absolutely beautiful and at times is so fluffy she resembles a bear. People admire her where ever we go and are surprised by her fluffy coat. Although she doesn't bark, she's enormous enough (120 lbs) to always feel safe and secure when walking to taking her anywhere. Her personality is very mellow and she is happy when we are near her. She loves to go for a walk.
Riot
Riot is a 1-year-old American Pit Bull in Dallas, GA, who needs $200 for neuter surgery and a heartworm test.
Dallas, GA
Riot is a very energetic loving baby. He runs around with our 2 kids as if he is human as well. His energy is very high. He doesn't realize how big he is since he thinks he is a lap dog. He is an inside pet that goes outside to potty and sun bathe. He has no aggression what so ever. When the kids go to bed he gets to relax and snores so loud he sounds like a semi truck. Riot came to us after our 17 year old pit bull passed away. He is house trained and always carries what we call his baby....his teddy. His relationship with each of the kids is different. With my son he runs everywhere and i do mean everywhere. With my daughter he loves to be loved. With me it's relax time. I have been a single mama of 2 toddlers with one who just started school and one about to start I have a hard time making ends meet. He is in need to be neutered to calm and relax him some as well as heartworm testing so we can put him on heartgaurd. Riot is up to date in shots but needs heartworm testing and neutered. heartgaurd. He sees etowah animal hospital in woodstock. I am beyond pleased to do the drive to continue his medical check ups. I cannot get him on heart guard until he is tested. They treated my 17 year old pit bull for several years and are beyond compassionate. They bond with their patients as if they are their own. Riot is always there to make you smile. His feet are always dancing and his hiney is always wiggling. He requires a lot of attention but because he has two toddlers that is never an issue. When he finally goes to sleep it sounds like a semi truck coming through. He loves rides. He refuses to sit in the front seat his spot is between the carseats. Like i said he thinks he is a toddler
Jax
Jax is a 13.5-year-old Mixed in Panama City, FL, who needs $600 for Advanced Liver disease and Cushing's disease treatments.
Panama City, FL
As many of our friends and family know, we do not have human children. Jax is our "child".I was with a relative one day, going to see the puppies her friends dog had. Had not planned on getting one...just love to see cute puppies. They were only one day old. The moment I saw him I just fell in love.We took him home (when he was old enough) and He has been our boy every since. Almost 14 years. Jax is a silly fun loving pup. He loves attention and back rubs from all he meets. Watch out though because he is quick with the tounge and loves to give out kisses. Our family treats him like a family member not just a pet because he is so special to us. He has two cousin pups Berkley and Kuro he enjoys spending time with. He has a wild kitty brother he likes to play and cuddle with. During the pandemic while schools were closed we had only one income. During this time Jax became sick. He has already had about $3000 in surgery, test and medications just since July.He still has more blood test needed and medications are at close to $400 a month right now Jax has been under the care of Dr. Powell at Critter Care in Panama City, F. He wasn't feeling well so we spent weeks doing test and trying different treatments. Ultimately he had to have his spleen removed and had a liver biopsy. At which time we found he had advanced liver disease. He still wasn't feeling better so more test revealed Cushing's disease that he just started treatment for. Jax is such a ham. He loves chasing balls at the park, car rides, and walks on the beach. If you aren't giving him the attention he thinks he should have, he is sure to let you know with a little grumble telling you come on it's time to play. At bed time he is so funny. He will give you a look,grumble and Nod when he is ready. And he means business and won't budge till we head to bed.
